reported yearly income equal to that Of Lord Sails

rcckoned rich, has 10000 year Mr.. Maple has long
peen generous donor of funds 10 the Tory party and
besides finding money he las given end of hard work.
Of kind most distastcful TO politician especially
TO rich man. In aid of various party ventures just as
the Marquis of Abcrgavenny advises In certain
or high policy, Mr. Maple has been a keen business
adviser OF the Tories Ills energy is quite phenomenal
and his commercial value TO his political chiefs almost
beyond calculation.

observer This weakness OF tie man. like all single
weaknesses, has been developed in surprising degree

to the affection of his party. They dared not further
